2023 attack on the Japanese Prime Minister

On 15 April 2023, a pipe bomb exploded near Fumio Kishida, the then-prime minister of Japan, who came to the fishing port of Saikazaki, Wakayama, Wakayama Prefecture, in the Kansai region to give a campaign stump speech for the 2023 Wakayama 1st district by-election. Just before Kishida was to give a stump speech, a man threw a pipe bomb. The man who threw the object was captured by local fishermen and the police.
